After wandering the length of the village, we settled down in one of these little restaurants and tucked into some of the local produce, all of which tasted wonderfully fresh!
The village was incredibly pretty and it was interesting to see how the fishermen still used the traditional boats to catch fish. However, before long, it was time to return to our hotel and hunt down dinner!
That evening (our last evening!) we walked into the centre of St Julian's and chose a restaurant called 'Zest' which turned out to be a real treat! The menu was, as far as I was concerned, perfect. Advertised as 'east meets west', it was full of sushi, Thai curries, Japanese grills and noodle-y dishes. I was in heaven!
We ordered off one of their set sharing menus and tucked in to the mountain of food which then appeared.
Firstly, an amuse-bouche and cocktails.
Then, we started with sushi, sticky chelsea buns, chicken and lamb satay, dim sum parcels and a fantastic glass noodle salad.
Followed by a trio of thai curries (Lu had another noodle dish as well but I can't quite remember what it was!).
And then delicious deserts which included a fiery chocolate and chilli fondant with raspberry sorbet.
I just wish I'd had more room to eat more- by the end I was bursting!
Zest was fantastic- the food amazing and the staff incredibly accommodating. They had delivered a truly wonderful last meal on Malta.
I had a brilliant holiday visiting Malta. Not only was the island beautiful, but everyone we met was incredibly friendly and willing to share something about the island and its fascinating history. I learnt more than I could have expected from such a short stay and I would love to return in the future to find out more!
What a fun trip!! Those macarons look delicious :)

What a fun trip it must have been. I'm more into party islands for the beach but this would be great to take my family to.
